Abstract

The invention relates to a device for communicating with a portable data medium (2) and comprising for this purpose at least one electrical contact (44) intended to cooperate with at least one electrical contact (24) of the portable data medium through connecting means (3), in which said connecting means (3) comprise a sheet (31) having at least one area forming a first conducting element (34) disposed so as to cooperate with each of said contacts (24, 44) and the device comprises means for applying a compressing force to the contacts (24, 44) in order to press said first conducting element (34) against each of said contacts (24, 44) and for discontinuing the application of said force in order to move said first conducting element (34) away from the contacts (24, 44).
According to the invention, said first conducting element (34) comprises an electrically conductive mass made of elastomer.
